Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 onion
160g
1 tsp salt
5g
1 tbsp ground cumin
16g
1 tsp turmeric powder
5g
1 tsp chili powder
5g
2 garlic cloves
6g
12 oz ground beef (80/20%)
340g
2 potatoes
400g
1 tbsp lemon juice
5g
1/4 cup coriander leaves
3.75g
3 sheets puff pastry
750g
1 egg
50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Onion: Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Spices: Stir in 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp ground cumin, 1 tsp turmeric powder, and 1 tsp chili powder. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
4. Garlic: Add the minced garlic cloves and cook for another minute.
5. Cook Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
6. Add Potatoes: Stir in the diced potatoes and cook until they begin to soften, about 10 minutes. If needed, add a little water to prevent sticking.
7. Finish Filling: Stir in 1 tbsp lemon juice and the finely chopped coriander leaves. Mix well and remove from heat. Let the mixture cool slightly.
2. Prepare Pastry:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll Out Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth them out. Cut each sheet into desired shapes (squares, rectangles, or circles).
3. Assemble Pastries:
1. Fill Pastry: Place a spoonful of the beef and vegetable filling in the center of each pastry piece.
2. Fold and Seal: Fold the pastry over the filling to create a sealed edge (e.g., fold square sheets into triangles or rectangles into halves). Press the edges together firmly, using a fork to crimp and seal the pastry.
4. Egg Wash:
- Brush Pastries: Lightly brush the tops of each pastry with the beaten egg to give them a golden glaze.
5. Bake Pastries:
- Transfer to Baking Sheet: Place the assembled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed up and golden brown.
6. Serve:
- Allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- Make sure the puff pastry is thoroughly thawed before you start working with it to avoid cracking.

- Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the filling, such as carrots or peas, for additional nutrients and flavors.

- Use a fork to crimp the edges of the pastry to ensure they are well sealed and give a decorative touch.

- Brush the pastries with beaten egg before baking for a beautiful golden-brown finish.

- Let the cooked filling cool completely before filling the pastries to prevent the puff pastry from becoming soggy.

- For an extra kick, add some finely chopped chili or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.

Your beef and vegetable pastries are now ready to be enjoyed. The blend of aromatic spices, tender beef, and flaky puff pastry creates a delicious and satisfying dish. Serve them warm, and watch as they quickly become a favorite among your family and friends.
